No. It is the problem that we don't send Accept header in our request.
Some web servers are not HTTP/1.1 compliant - this causes our http requests
to hang when connecting to it.
It seems like some servers REQUIRE the client to send an "Accept" header.
Our current implementation doesn't send an Accept header.
However, RI sends such Accept headers. In light of this, we should start
sending an Accept header which will accept all content types unless
explicitly overridden in user code.
